to the markets, we will open modestly higher today. stocks will be up. we're looking at about 40, 45 point gain. we would have been up almost 100 points last friday, if it were not for the poor performance from ibm, which is a dow stock. we're going to follow that stock at the open. look at gold. i'm calling this a significant comeback, up $32. 1428 is where we are now. now what you're looking at is a protest at the home of a federal housing official. is this legitimate protest, bringing the outrage right to someone's home? we're going to be talking about that this morning. but please, stay there, we're about to see how your 401(k) will look when wall street opens today and more on the internet sales tax. here we go.

[ male announcer ] e pill eachmorning. 24 urs. zero heartbur >> all right. everybody, trading is about to begin this monday morning. this is the start of trading for the week after the boston outrage. let's see how we're going to open. at the moment we're looking for maybe a 40 point gain for the dow jones industrial average. that's where we stand with a minute to go before that opening bell rings. i'm going to bring in larry l f levin with us from chicago. we've got one suspect dead and another guy captured, is that at
9:29 am
all a factor this today's modest rally that we're going to see. >> i think there's something to do with that, stuart, i do. i think that having that or some kind of resolution in that situation, even though we don't know all the facts, having people behind bars and not with us anymore, so to speak, is something that at least gives people confidence. it's a terrible situation, but it's behind us and that's what the market likes. stuart: what is really driving the markets, what is it? >> you and i have talked about it, the fed is not necessarily going to go away. we talked about it, we saw a drop in the market, but until the economy improves they're the not going to get out of the way and i think because of that, this market will go up and more talk about that this week. >> we're only what, a couple-- we were down on the week about a couple hundred points, that's not a major selloff by any means. larry, thanks indeed. you're saying the market is trying to go up, we shall see. we have a news background, not yet occurred, at ten o'clock,
9:30 am
half hour from now we're going to get the existing home sales, a very big pointing that is supposedly improving housing market. you'll get the numbers as we them, too. i want to warn you, coming up on friday, the latest gdp numbers, they're going to be inflated and show a rate of growth maybe 3%, very strong. but, there's a new calculation involved. so watch out there. the dow is now open for business. we're up 5 in the very early going, yeah, the up trend in place, first thing this monday morning. and why are we going to show you the price of a foreign corporation? why are we doing that? i'll tell you because the japanese stocks are going straight up as the yen comes straight down. tokyo says they're going to keep pushing their currency value down. it's at a four-year low and that's why toyota, i don't think there's much trading thus far, we were expecting that to go up a bit more this morning, but $112 a share, very interesting,
9:31 am
high level there, for another japanese stock. and i've got two more big names, you know, let's deal first of all with apple. the worst week in two and a half years, down 9% last week and nicole, any sign of a bounce? >> right, we're seeing it up 1/2 a percent for apple. i've read so much and 14 analyst downgrade apple some way, shape or form the last couple of months though there were a couple who were positive this morning and reading about forbes, throwing out the idea whether or not tim cook may be replaced, but there are so many folks who love it, but everybody knows it was adds 700 stock back in september and it's still below 400. stuart: you can't call it a bounce, a gain of a buck, that's not a bounce at all, but tell me about ibm. we would have had a triple digit rally for the dow, but any bounce. nicole: we're watching ibm, higher this morning, a name on friday dropped 8 1/4%.
9:32 am
the biggest drop ibm has seen in three years, and the worry is about the growth prospects for the company for 2013, as you noted, it shaved off over 100 points on the dow on friday. stuart: i don't want to grind my ax, but i have a task for you. can you tell me why in the next update, were microsoft opened 50, 60 cents higher. nicole: yeah. stuart: now it's up 70 cents. and perhaps you can tell me in the next update what is up with my stock. dow jones industrial average is up, that's not a bounce. and caterpillar is the indicator. profit was lower than expected, and demand for equipment and mining equipment dropped. not good news for the stock, but it is up a little bit, okay? $81, up 80 cents on caterpillar he, very interesting. you've got to look at gold prices. on the rise this morning. this brings in peter schiff.
9:33 am
peter is the ultimate gold bug, doesn't mind calling him that. i want to know, peter, have you ever put out a sell on gold? >> no, i mean, i've been buying gold for 13 years or so. it's been in a bull market pretty much the entire time and i'm not a short-term trader so i don't give advice to futures traders or options traders. i'm telling people to buy gold and hold it as a hedge against inflation and money printing and you know, gold has been up for 12 consecutive years. it's entitled to a correction. it's incredible how the media has jumped all over this. i read an article that said that the advisors who had been negative on gold the entire time were now gloating and saying, "i told you so." we're still at 1400, i think it's premature for the people who have been advising their clients not to buy gold during the the last decade not to pat themselves on the back. stuart: straighten me out on something, this month on april we've seen record gold coin
9:34 am
sales? the mintsers have been putting them out and dealers putting them out and people are buying. >> it's accurate. i own precious metals, and the problem is, there's a backup. coins that we normally can deliver right away are backed up by four to six weeks. some of the products that we normally buy, he we can't even get and the premiums on gold coins and bars and silver have gone up dramatically so it's actually more expensive. there's so much buying because of the decline that, you know, we can't keep up with it. >> okay. japan, you mentioned that gold is bouncing because-- you've been buying gold because of the threat of inflation where people buy money. japan has been printing up a storm. i want to know where is the inflation in japan? >> there is, mcdonald's just announced the first price increase in five years and they raised the price of burgers 20 to 25%. look at utility prices in japan and i think that louis vuitton,
9:35 am
everybody is raising prices and look, the government massages the numbers and you reported how it's going to change how it calculates gdp. they're going to count the money that we spend making movies, producing tv shows or r & d on defense, you know, spending as investment. it's a bunch of nonsense. the government cooks the books and massage the numbers to make them look better than they are. there's a lot more inflation than the government acknowledges and it gets a lot worse as the money printing continues. >> we appreciate it, peter, thank you. >> thanks. stuart: i want to get back to microsoft, up 70 cents the last time i saw it. nicole, have you got a reason for me yet? >> yeah, it's interesting to see a move at microsoft. it's up almost 4%, come on, when do you he see microsoft up 4%. the it's a couple of things, and i know you love it and everything, let's talk about what we're seeing.
9:36 am
on street insider.com there are reports that people are reporting -- reports that people are reporting so that shows you it's out and people are talking about it, but no one has solidified this idea, but that a big hedge fund, value capital will shortly disclose a 2 billion dollar sotake in the software giant. and steve ballmer, ceo, a splitup of the company may be discussed so this is a huge, huge move for value act if this is in case -- if this is in fact the case. stuart: i'll bet you that that move in microsoft which is a dow stock, accounted for a big chunk of the dow's rise. if microsoft is up over a buck, and it is, that's got to be pushing the overall dow up. it accounts for all of its rise because the dow is now up only 13. nicole: we'll work on getting the points and while we talk about the next topic, liz our
9:37 am
superstar producer will get how much. stuart: i just found out. microsoft's rally. nicole: no, no. stuart: is adding 9 points. thank you very much. you're quick down there. and we'll be back shortly, thank you. the senate's -- can i just have a quick look the at amazon and ebay? can you show me those stocks? i think we've got them loaded. the reason i want to show you, there's talk about an internet sales tax. amazon, by the way, says that's okay. it's cool with the tax. ebay says it doesn't want the tax, but both of those stocks are down. that's all about the internet sales tax and i've got more on that. right now, actually, the with us now, dan, you're from illinois and you're a critic of illinois's government. illinois is almost insolvent, if i could put it like that. i would imagine that the people in illinois want this internet sales tax because they are so,
9:38 am
so desperate for money. am i right? >> well, you know, i've dealt with the illinois state treasure and one of the few republicans in this state and yes, i'm critical of the way that things are going forward here, but you know, to answer your question, because they're desperate for the money, i don't think that that's the reason. i think there are a number of people that support this because it really is a sense of fairness for our bricks and mortar stores that are there established in our community, that are paying property taxes and paying the sales tax, so i think what's really looking at this is more of a fairness approach as opposed to looking at it for revenue. but it's going to make more internet sellers, tax collectors for the entire country. that's a huge bureaucratic burden to place on internet sellers, isn't it? >> well, i tell you it's part-- the devil will always be in the details how that process would go through and be implemented. to be candid with you, i don't see it too dissimilar as a
9:39 am
corner bookstore, selling books and chewing gum. they're responsible for collecting the sales tax at a brick and mortar store. i don't think it's different from a fairness standpoint. stuart: can you give me a dollar amount how much illinois would bring in in one year if the internet sales tax went through? >> i'm not prepared to do that because i don't want the listeners from illinois and the revenue department start to get their pencils sharpened on it. but let's say, again, it's not just the idea the revenue that come in, but an abundant fairness issue not only for the retail shop, but the property owners and land owners and leasing space to retail outlets. it's down to a fairness issues and brooks and mortar collecting and remitting the sales taxes because one happens to have the cash register on the internet as opposed to a tangible item sitting on the store shelves, doesn't mean that it shouldn't
9:40 am
be something that the buyer should be responsible for the sales tax. stuart: all right, dan rutherford, illinois state treasurer, the debate has begun on the internet sales tax and you're part of it and we appreciate you joining us, dan. >> have a wonderful morning, thank you. stuart: thanks, sir. we have not mentioned the boston terror story yet, but there is an issue and we're going to deal with it. should the suspect be treated as an enemy combatant? that way investigators can question him without a lawyer. the judge coming up on that in our next hour. and rudy guiliani will join us, as well, on exactly the same subject. top of the hour coming up. and seven early movers this it monday morning. ebay's chief e-mailing to lobby against the sales tax. ebay stock is down. we mentioned caterpillar cut the profit outlook and nonetheless that went up a little, and the oil company halliburton put ayou way more money for litigation and posted a loss, nonetheless it's up. why the loss of a toy maker hasbro, more money coming in.
9:41 am

9:47 am
the co-host of the successful "the five", it is ultra successful you're killing them. well done. i call it political thuggery, it reminds me of people going to banker's homes and terrorizing them. i think it's out of bounds. >> i agree with you 100%. remember, there was a bus load of people that drove up to connecticut and stopped and protested in front of people's home with the big banks were getting bailed out and look what they're doing now. they were mad at the banks for getting bailed out, remember that? they're doing the exact opposite now. they're saying we need a bailout. we want mortgage mitigation, we want more money. which way do you want it. protest bailouts or protest that you're not getting bailed out? make up your mind. they just-- look, they're just putting a big smoke screen up. they want more stuff. stuart: i think it's the return of acorn, precisely the same tax particulars and out of bounds.
9:48 am
i want to bring up a dispute. >> go right ahead. stuart: a headline in the financial times today, data shift to give 3% lift to the u.s. economy. friday morning, we found out the latest gdp numbers. how fast and how big is our economy growing? >> and wait a second, the next part, this coming friday. >> yeah. >> because we're recalculating the numbers, it will show 3% growth. it's not 3% growth. it wouldn't be 3% growth without this recalculation, what's your point? >> my point is, again, stuart, you and i go back and forth on this, the economy is getting better in spite of president obama not because of anything president obama has done. if he just left it alone, it probably would be getting better at an earlier stage. we didn't need to be in this mess for five years, it could have been a three-year ordeal. stuart: can you say that this economy is getting that much better. hardly any growth in the fourth quarter of last year and cooked the books on this year's first quarter. >> a difference between the number, the new calculation and the old calculation?
9:49 am
i don't know either, but it's not going to be three full percentage points on gdp. we're the not going from a negative growth to a 3% growth rate because they changed the data. stuart: and you know, they say, friday morning, 3% growth, the recovery is on track, here we go, boys, everything is fine. >> great, that would be fantastic. let them. isn't it good that the economy gets back on track, if they want to play around with the numbers, play around with the the numbers. the reality, things are getting better. look, the stock market, we all know this. stuart: get back on-- >> we know that-- do we disagree on the stock market. stuart: no. >> the next market, the labor market, getting better slightly a little bit, stuart? we're the not losing or creating jobs, right? are we getting better? >> eric, eric, look, one new job is getting better. >> okay, good. now we have the stock market and the labor market. now what we really need turned around? as soon as the housing market turns around i'm telling you you'll see massive growth, stock traders. stuart: mass i have growth?
9:50 am
it's 9:49 see that clock? i've got to go to the growth report. you're wrong, eric, i can't believe how wrong you are. thank you for being here with us. >> can't wait until next. stuart: and what is gold doing this morning, up $28 an ounce, it was up 45 and now it's up 28. >> sell that. >> stop it. and you're listening to peter schiff. are you done? the maximum pain is here and anyone flying can expect delays at some airports. as we cut air traffic contollers to save money. we're doubling the amount of money we have, too. syrian rebels, what's with that. charles and liz are here.

9:55 am
syria. >> and i don't know, you do the math, and the burr lowing cuts with the air traffic contollers, 600 million dollars, they could use to 250 to stop the delays at laguardia or in newark or san francisco or l.a. or florida and it's pilots association and an airline association both say not necessary, because they can find the budget cuts elsewhere ar don't have to do the furloughs. stuart: and transportation secretary ray lahood says he doesn't have a-- >> the pilots say no. stuart: a brand new hour of "varney & company" with new number on housing, how many homes are selling and who is buying, investors or families, question good. and plus, rudy guiliani whether we should treat the boston terror suspect as an enemy combata combatant. lawyer or no lawyer. and this reminds a lot of obamacare, and can gives an

excuse to play nancy again. >> but we have to pass the bill so you can find out what is in it away from the fog of the controversy. @
9:57 am
9:58 am
9:59 am
stuart: a new hour of varney and companies. heads of realtors, second up on now we have your all-important home sales numbers. are we moving 5 billion homes a
10:00 am
year? second away from telling you. giuliani has an opinion and, yes, he is here. ♪ stuart: it is 10:00 o'clock precisely. we are just getting that existing home sale numbers. 4.92. that is not a good number. 4.92 million distinct homes being sold per year in the united states of america. that, by the way, is down from the last figures that we solve which were 4.98. 4.92 again homes on an annualized basis. by the way, the dow jones industrials has lost a little bit of ground since that was
10:01 am
announced. 4.92 million homes. jewels, come into this, please. i think this is a signal that housing is not recovering in the way that we thought. charles: there are still some question marks about it. prices are important, obviously. the initial reaction is right by the market. stuartt we were down .6% month to month down .6%. the downtrend is an important indicator peer we are off 45 points now. come on in, nicole. i am looking at ge. nicole: i want to take a look at
10:02 am
general electric. it has been the number one loser. that is because you now have the analyst jumping on board and ge has now downgraded from a neutral to an overweight. there not loving it. that is why they are doing this downgrade. stuart: that is a big job for a huge stock like ge. i want to move on to microsoft. nicole: it is unbelievable how we continue to watch microsoft with this dramatic move. microsoft does not move like this. there is no way to get a confirmation on this yet. showing a lot of backing. both the what they think about
10:03 am
steve ballmer. we will see what they think about splitting up the company. stuart: believe me, nicole, we will be following microsoft. i have to talk more about this housing number. i will call it negative news from housing. 4.92 million existing homes being sold in america at the current pace. that is down from the month before. down .6%. this seems to be a reversal of the previous of trend in housing and it is kind of bad news for the world market. >> you are right, stuart. stuart: a booming market would
10:04 am
over six again sales. >> exactly. stuart: anything to add, charles? charles: the price went up significantly. also, the amount of time a house is on the market. that is improving. the big red flag continues to be only 30% of buyers were first-time buyers. stuart: they cannot get a loan. they cannot qualify for a loan. charles: in the top one half metropolitan areas, it is cheaper to own and to rent. >> that is the best we have seen in seven years. that is pretty great. [ laughter ]
10:05 am
stuart: here is the question. whether the boston terror suspect should be held as an enemy combatant. >> we are trying to defend ourselves against enemy attacks. you do not give people lawyers. lawyers are for criminal process. you do not have a right to a lawyer here. stuart: very interesting. that was senator lindsey graham. joining us now is rudy giuliani. you were listening to the senate are there. you were nodding your head. >> yes. stuart: let me jump in. this man is a u.s. citizen. is it legit or the executive
10:06 am
branch of our government to say, i do not care if you are and i american citizen, you are in enemy combatant, you do not get a lawyer. >> what they would take out a bus station in new york, would they be an american citizen? no. they would be prosecuted in american courts. there was prosecution of a man who alleged to be an american citizen. they said to heck with that. you went to war with the united states. he was executed within three months. there are very strong laws for the fact of whether you are an american citizen or not, you joined a war with the united states, it changes.
10:07 am
he has the clerk war against us. how close of a connection was this to al qaeda? i think those are tough questions. i hope the administration approaches this kind of with a legal mind, not a political rights. i would like to push everything in the direction of enemy combatant, if we can get there. no time for on it. considering the fact that the obama administration has done away with all kinds of intense questioning, you will need more time. this guy will be treated pretty nicely. you will need time to get the information and to test the reliability of the information.
10:08 am
the idea of worrying about prosecuting him, would not worry about that at all. stuart: he will be found guilty. >> you can prosecute him and at least three places. stuart: supposedly do the exact opposite. can it deliver negotiate, couldn't he say, look, we will not execute you, if you tell us. >> it is a risk.
10:09 am
we tend to mess things up, rather than advance things. [ laughter ] stuart: mayor giuliani says he is and enemy combatants. >> either way the administration can get to that result. i do not know how strong the evidence is linking him to the al qaeda effort against the united states. i would go really far to try to make that case. stuart: eric giuliani, always a pleasure. thank you. we will hear from judge andrew napolitano this hour all. that will be at 10:35 a.m. how about those homebuilder stocks?
10:10 am
nicole: they are down. let's take a look at lennar. it is down about 2.5%. some big moves when you get into existing home sales which are less than analysts had expected. we did get one positive. right now, you can be it is tough to bounce back. stuart: thank you very much, indeed. i want to turn to charles now for a moment. his economy going through what may be called a spring swirled? are we losing ground? this housing development is more news to that effect. where do you stand on this? charles: it is a that the audience should be aware of.
10:11 am
beginning right around this particular date. last year we had a decided swoon . the stock market reaction has been a lot more negative than the actual fundamental news, the actual economic data. gdp was not that bad. all of that stuff did not really justified, necessarily the swoon. growth at 3%. now we are looking at this quarter. certainly glad into percent. we will slow down. to what degree will that be represented remains to be seen. it has been harsh. the last three aprils, right
10:12 am
